After several years of use, the ratchet strap that I wore every day started to delaminate, so I decided to just replace the strap as the buckle was fine. . After looking at several options, I decided to try the Lavemy option. The strap matched my buckle perfectly and looked good. However, after just a few days, the belt had begun to stretch and deform, forming a noticeable "curve" that conformed to the shape of my body. The strap I had before never did and stayed straight and true throughout its life. I still use this belt - functionally it's fine, but I'm not sure how long it will last given its rapid degradation.
